'''Samuel Langhorne Clemens''' (b. 30 November 1835 in Florida, [[Missouri]]; d. 21 April 1910 in Redding, [[Connecticut]]), known by his pen name '''Mark Twain''', was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. His novels include ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'' (1876) and its sequel, the ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' (1885). The latter book, despite being anti-[[slavery]] and depicting Blacks positively, is today often criticized for use of perceived racial [[stereotypes]]. Wikipedia lists the Black Jim character as a "[[Magical Negro]]".

==Life==
===A plan for the improvement of spelling in the English language===

:''For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.''

:''Generally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeiniing voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x"— bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez —tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivili.''

:''Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.''
